C17 Golden Python

"Hiss …" "Hiss …" As Ouyang Chen heard the unique sound of the python, he couldn't help but tense up. He didn't even dare to breathe, slowly slowing down his heartbeat.

Right now, Ouyang Chen was sprawled behind a pile of soil, his body covered in grass juice. This was something he had learned from Bao`er's father. Most of the snake type beasts' eyesight were not very good, and they relied more on their sense of taste. The grass juice on their bodies could protect them from being discovered by the big python.

Of course, this was just his own thoughts. Perhaps the other party had already noticed them long ago, and was just too lazy to bother with Ouyang Chen.

Today was the tenth day since Ouyang Chen entered the mountain. There was no map, and he did not know where he had gone. He only knew a general direction.

He had left the area where they had been hunting and gone deeper. After ten days, the opportunity to break through was not as easy as he had imagined. However, he was in no hurry. He knew that he couldn't be impatient at times like this. The more anxious he was, the worse it would be. The more anxious he was, the worse it would become.

Therefore, he had been wandering aimlessly in the mountains for the past few days. If he ran into any beast that caught his eye, he would fight it out and hone his swordsmanship; if he couldn't touch it, then he would train it out himself. Although his current bottleneck was not enough to increase his cultivation, Ouyang Chen also discovered that he had not gained anything.

With these few days of cultivation and constant battles, he discovered that the elemental energy in his dantian had become purer and more condensed, and he could now move it with ease.

Upon realizing this, Ouyang Chen was no longer in a hurry. He had been leisurely strolling in the mountains, letting nature take its course. During this period of fighting wild game, he changed the food and led a leisurely life. Until a few mornings later, his blissful life had been disrupted.

This morning, Ouyang Chen had just finished washing up by the small ditch when he heard a roar, followed by a very strange, hoarse hissing, as he filled his water bag with water.

Ouyang Chen guessed that the latter possibility was the python, but he had never seen the python cry so far. However, he had never heard the first type of roar before. From the sound, he could tell that the two beasts were not weak and seemed to be fighting.

At this moment, Ouyang Chen's spirits were piqued. He was bitterly searching for the opportunity to break through but did not have any clue. Hence, he had the thought of going to take a look.

Ouyang Chen had never been one to hesitate. After packing his luggage, Ouyang Chen left the cave he was staying in and headed toward the location of the battle.

Unfortunately, he did not see this good show. While they were still on their way, Ouyang Chen heard the sound of a ferocious beast that he could not identify slowly fading away. However, with the mindset of trying it out, Ouyang Chen still hurried over.

Sure enough, when Ouyang Chen saw the scene, all he could see was a scene of devastation. A few trees had been broken into pieces and were lying on the ground. Some of them had even been uprooted.

There was a pit on the ground. There was also blood on the ground, and the smell of blood assaulted his nostrils. All of these had witnessed a brutal battle.

Glancing over, Ouyang Chen only saw a golden python as thick as his waist crawling on the ground. There was a trail of blood below it, and it looked like it had been injured, and it wasn't light at all.

However, the golden python's ferocity did not decrease at all. It raised its head like a general that had defeated his opponent, overlooking its territory.

With just a glance, Ouyang Chen could tell that this giant python was no longer a wild beast, but a beast that was as famous as a martial artist. As for what rank it was, of course, Ouyang Chen had no idea.

He knew very little about the world of warriors, and all he knew was that he had heard it from the village's seniors. Of course, in the past, he had only listened to it as a story. As for which stories were true and which were false, he had no idea.

However, although he did not know what level this golden python in front of him was, this did not prevent him from making a judgement on its strength. Just by sensing traces of his aura, Ouyang Chen could feel that the elemental energy in his body was being suppressed, slowing his circulation speed.

Ouyang Chen knew that he was definitely not a match for this golden python. This was a type of intuition on the part of a practitioner, and it was also self-knowledge.

It was a pity that he did not manage to make it in time for the fight between the two powerful Origin Beasts, but there was nothing he could do. Ouyang Chen shook his head. Just as he was about to leave quietly, his nose twitched slightly.

He was too concentrated on admiring the golden python's awe-inspiring appearance that he didn't notice anything strange in the air. Right now, Ouyang Chen could smell a faint fragrance in the air, reeking of blood. Just smelling it made him feel very comfortable. Even the elemental energy in his body that was suppressed by the golden python's pressure felt more active.

A look of ecstasy appeared on Ouyang Chen's face. Wasn't this the opportunity he had been looking for?

"Just what kind of treasure is it? If I can get it, then I'll definitely be able to break through to body refining fourth level, haha!" Ouyang Chen was wild with joy. Of course, he kept these mad laughs in his heart, or else the golden python would definitely show them to him!

After searching for a while, Ouyang Chen finally found a light green plant in a small clearing between the coiled bodies of the golden python. However, Ouyang Chen was still unfamiliar with it.

But what does it matter? Ouyang Chen almost drooled when he saw that green plant. It was like a perverted evil spirit that had been left on a deserted island for several years suddenly seeing a goddess-level beauty flirting in front of his eyes. Saliva was already considered light.

But soon after, Ouyang Chen became listless. He saw how the golden python's body was like a small wall that tightly protected the plant in the middle of the forest. Ouyang Chen wanted to cry, but no tears came out.

Is he fucking playing with me? In order to obtain this stalk of spirit medicine, the body of the Golden Python would have to be turned into a corpse.

He was only a small body refining third level martial artist, but he was facing off against a strong source beast of unknown levels? Go all out?

Looking at the sword in his hand, Ouyang Chen was certain that he would be the one charging at him if he were to turn into a corpse. He might have been swallowed alive, not even a corpse.

Is there anyone who would play with people like this? He suspected that this golden python would only need a sweep of its tail to kill him.

He just turned around and quietly left?

Ouyang Chen was unwilling. It was one thing if he didn't meet him, but it was another to just leave like that. Ouyang Chen felt that this kind of person should have been struck by lightning. It was such a waste!

After hesitating for a while, Ouyang Chen decided to wait and see if he could wait for the golden python to hunt for food. However, even he himself did not believe in this possibility.

From the looks of it, that golden python was obviously guarding that stalk of spirit grass. Why would it throw it away to hunt? Unless the golden python's head was squeezed by a door!

Besides, with such a powerful elemental beast, it would not be a problem even if they did not eat for a few months.

One must know that even an ordinary green snake would not be able to eat for a long time without any problems. If things continued like this, the one who was left to starve would definitely be Ouyang Chen! Without a doubt!

Ignoring the fact that Ouyang Chen wasn't thinking about anything else, he quietly hid himself behind the cove. This wait lasted for a whole day.
